This Cellar Collection Vol. 5 release blends the finished rye with an 11-year-old rye for added depth, bottled at 104.2 proof (52.1% ABV) in small batches of 6-8 barrels.

This limited-edition rye stands out for its bold use of exceedingly rare French Oak Añejo Tequila barrels, diverging from Angel's Envy's traditional rum or Cognac finishes to deliver a triple-layered profile of peppery rye spice, woody tannin, and tequila-inspired earthiness. At 104.2 proof, it offers exceptional complexity and smoothness, earning acclaim as a highly collectible expression from Louisville Distilling Co., founded by whiskey legend Lincoln Henderson. French oak imparts nuanced spices like cinnamon and vanilla, creating a sophisticated fusion that's both innovative and impeccably balanced.
Sip neat or with a splash of water in a Glencairn glass to unlock its layered aromas and long, warm finish.
